Nope, I don't think so -- because even assuming the Drake equation is accurate, which is only an assumption, there are 2 factors the Drake equation doesn't take into account: first it makes assumptions according to the amount of knowledge/technology we currently have. There is no way to know what will be discoveredin the future that will significantly alter our ability to explore space. And second, the number of stars is virtually infinite, including not only all the stars that currently exist but also all of the new stars (some of which will have planets that could support life) that will continue to be created in the future. . . FOREVER

Actually the Drake equation takes into account the technology level where possible but is based on what chance we have of contacting another civilization at the current time

Also assuming that you believe the "Big Bang" theory of universal evolution there are not an infinite number of stars and they will not always be produced - The "Big Bang" universe has a beginning, continues for a time and then ends

I am not too familiar with the Drake equation, but I am definately a fan of the Big Bang Theory.

I'm not sure though that stars create a black- hole?? i only know that planets do if they implode ??

Black holes are typically formed when a star (our Sun for example) runs out of fuel, collapsing under its own mass. Strictly speaking, a black hole is any stellar object whose gravitational attraction is so strong, that not even light can escape it.
